@family | MENTIONINGThe fresh air of winter caused almost a stinging feeling within Cirrus's nostrils, he couldn't quite tell whether he loved it or hated it. Maybe it was a mixture of both, he crouched down grabbing another handful of snow as he tried to roll it. The white flakes of today were fresh and fluffy, but still firm enough to hold it's shape. Absolutely perfect for building whatever he wanted, perfect for any of his decided winter endeavors. The boy began to start rolling the snow up, attempting to pack it together to the best of his ability. He succeeded in creating a large lopsided sphere of snow, but the victory only lasted for a few moments. Cirrus created a second ball, more monstrous than the other, carefully he took it up in his arms, how could snow feel like a million pounds? He struggled as he waddled over to his first mound before he lost his balance falling forward onto all his hard work. The Hufflepuff stood up, falling and slipping forward a few times in between, he wrinkled his face in disgust and disappointment. He just stood there for a few minutes, before getting over his own annoyance once again giving another go at creating a snowman. He had to make the most awesome snowman the world had ever seen! A snowman so legendary that Frosty himself would be jealous and left gobsmacked in awe. Why? Well because of Gekko of course! Cirrus was determined to show off his amazing snowman-building skills, he HAD to impress her, even if he didn't want to admit it, he was giving his secret mission another go. After a few hours, he finally finished the snowman, in case that failed Cirrus had bought a small gift for the Slytherin. It was a small bag of wizard crackers that he had bought at The Wesley Joke Store in Diagon Alley, you could throw these crackers down and a bunch of smoke would come. The boy himself hadn't tried it, but it sounded cool and he thought that maybe Gekko would like them. He was gonna miss her a lot once he went back home, he had never really had a best friend before, or at least for this long. Cirrus knew he was gonna miss her stupid stoic expressions, her stupid ideas, and her stupid cute face. The boy had always been excited to go home, but now he wished that he could stay a bit longer and get to know the girl more. If he was honest he had been so blinded with the idea of not liking her, that he had failed to actually really get to know her. Cirrus frowned slightly at the thought, but realized that to create a TRUE friendship it would take a pretty long time, plus he knew he was still a kid. They both were, so what really was there to stress over? He sat down next to his creation with the small bag in his hands, waiting patiently for Gekko to arrive as he puffed out little balls of white.

Winter is Warmer with You
───── Gekko hated the cold.
And she’ll continue to hate it until she couldn’t think anymore. Frigid cold air was one thing, but to add this wretched snow to it as well? Seriously, whose bright idea was it to think thousands upon thousands of ice falling onto the ground, mind you it’s blindingly WHITE, was a good thing? It was brighter than her dad when he doesn’t leave his study for three days. It was annoying, and honestly even more annoying when she saw kids having snowball fights with this weaponized element of cold hellfire.
If it was up to her and her alone, Gekko would’ve stayed in her dorm, bundled up and comfortable with her plushies. It would mean having to stay there with Otis as well, but that was a war she was willing to take. But, despite the many things against her, the young girl was kind and cherished her friends. That’s the only reason she dared to venture forth from the dungeons and to the snowy hellscape outside, all for the sake of her beloved friend. Even if Cirrus had nearly drowned her in the lake and made her catch a small cold because of it, she can forgive and forget.
So now she found herself trudging through the snow covered grounds of Hogwarts, bundled up in her comfiest coat her mother had packed for her. Each step had her seriously contemplating going back to the dungeons, but the distant sight of Cirrus tripping and falling into a pile of snow made Gekko nearly stumble in her attempt to not laugh. It was funny how his clumsiness just seemed to mess with him at every moment of his life, when it didn’t involve her falling into cold water it was actually amusing. Despite her earlier thoughts to return to her bed Gekko figured it would be okay just this once to attempt and try to enjoy this frosty hellhole, if it meant enjoying it with her friend.
The sound of the girl’s shoes crunching in the snow could be heard as she waddled her way closer to Cirrus, her arms held out at her sides to help keep her balance. The last thing the Slytherin girl wanted was to fall to her doom in the icy tundra straight from her nightmares. "Cirrus Nam!" Gekko called out the Hufflepuff's name softly, her voice seemingly a light echo in the nearly empty area. She was literally wadding through the snow like she was Moses parting the red sea, one small hand now reaching out for the boy. Her blank eyes caught sight of a snowman near him, and she had to fight back another laugh at how weak and pathetic it looked. "Did you make that?"

@family | MENTIONINGCirrus stayed seated, his eyes closed as to take in the space around him, soaking in the peace and serenity that winter seemed to bring. Much like a lizard would sit on a warm rock, bathing in the sun's rays. Only when he heard the light crunching of feet stepping on snow, accompanied with a voice he knew quite well did he open his eyes. A smile quickly spread across his face, it was contagious, whenever he saw her he would burst into a grin involuntarily. Cirrus wasted no time in getting up, running to meet Gekko halfway. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders pulling her into a hug, placing his chin on top of her head. He closed his eyes, be could've stayed like this forever and he wouldn't mind, it was like hugging a soft warm teddy bear.
"Hey Gekks," Cirrus said before slowly releasing her, he was determined not to make the same mistake. He then instead took hold of her previously outstretched hand. The smaller girl was obviously struggling to get through the snow, he decided on helping her. The two then trudged through the snow to get to where his snowman sat... Stood? Nevermind.
"Did you make that?"
Cirrus nodded excitedley, grinning ear to ear, crossing his arms in newfound confidence.
"Best snowman i both the wizardin an muggle world!"1 He said proudly, before taking in Gekko's attire. He had never seen her in something so cutesy before, she was usually the type to be so sleek and intelligently dressed. The fuzzy animal jacket was bigger than the girl herself, what made it funny was the outfit paired with her usual void expression. Cirrus sucked in his lips to stop himself from smiling, quickly looking away covering his mouth. She looks like a little hamster! why is she so cute.... He cleared his throat and his mind quickly, but then he had a new idea. Cirrus looked back at Gekko, he stood spreading his arms out straight, so that he was in a t pose before letting himself fall backwards onto the thick snow. The boy let himself sink in slightly before waving his arms in legs back and forth, pushing the snow to and fro to create a snow angel.

───── The girl let out a soft huff of laughter at the sight of the dopey snowman, Gekko didn't have the heart to tell the boy how pathetic it looked. It wasn't like she was good at making snowmen either, she'd rarely ever saw snow in the first place. Before this, the girl had only experienced snow once in her life, it rarely got cold enough for snow in Swansea. Seeing it for the second time was just as annoying and awful, but spending it with a friend her age who seemed to actually understand her made it ten times better.
Gekko moved around a little to find a spot with as little snow as possible to squat down, trying to get more comfortable. She didn't want to touch any of the cold hellfire at all, even going as far as to give the white devil a nasty look as she brought her hands up to her face. The girl breathed on them quietly and rubbed them together, trying to warm herself up, with her gaze flickering back over to Cirrus. Her eyebrows shot up as she watched him willingly fall back into the snow, her brows twitching in concern as she scooted a little closer to get a better look.
"What are you doin—"
The words were cut off as a clump of snow flew into Gekko's face, causing the girl to sputter and fall back on her butt. The feeling of ice-cold water on her behind made her gasp and shoot up to stand on her feet, patting the snow off of her rear with a small frown on her lips. A part of her wanted to be a little upset at Cirrus for causing the incident, but the rational part of her knew better. It was just an accident, but it seemed these kinds of accidents happened all the time when they were together. But, could she really blame him, when she allowed herself to be put in these situations? When she looked back over at the grinning Korean boy in the snow, with his little snow angel indent in the ground, the idea of blaming him seemed ridiculous. Gekko moved over to squat next to Cirrus's head in the snow, her head tilted slightly to the side at him. "I like your angel, but isn't it cold?" Without a word, she reached over to grab a clump of snow and drizzled it over his head, her own personal little form of revenge. Sure, she won't be mad at him, but she was still going to get her get back.

Winter is Warmer with You
───── Gekko was freezing, her body's heat circulation was always slower than a normal person's. She could feel her face burning from the cool air, a slight dusting of pink slowly covering her cheeks and nose as she watched Cirrus shake his head to get the snow off his face. However, the girl's eyebrows rose in surprise as Cirrus suddenly sat up, looking a bit more serious than she's ever seen him. The tone shift made her stumble a bit, but she was able to steady herself due to the Hufflepuff boy grabbing her wrist.
”I am wearing warm stuff, I'm wearing layers.” The words were just barely heard because Gekko mumbled them, but it didn't seem to matter. She watched in light amusement as Cirrus put his gloves on her hands, watching the flushed pale digits disappear into the warm escape with twitching lips. It was amusing when the boy got like this, all fussy and worrying about her health. It was moments like this he reminded her of her mother, they both seemed to have a radiant warmth about them. Idly, the girl wondered if the Korean was like this with anyone else as he wrapped the green scarf around her neck.
”I'm older than you, and you're babying me.” Despite her words, Gekko didn't kick up a fuss and instead gratefully accepted the crackers. She only briefly heard Cirrus' words as he got up, but her gaze was stuck on the snack in her hands. This was all so...new. She didn't hate it, but it was just something that made the girl pause sometimes. Having someone care for her that wasn't her parents or another adult caused an unfamiliar feeling to well in her chest. It made her tilt her head curiously in thought as she stood up straight, the feeling disappearing just as she tried to analyze it. ”How odd...”
She put the thought in her figurative back pocket and put the snack in her actual coat pocket as she came back to reality. Gekko looked up, and her head darted around in search of her friend before finding him near an entrance to the castle. Her lips twitched at the sight of him like they normally did when he was around, something new she'd also noticed. ”Coming.” The girl held her arms out and did a little waddle on the snow towards the school, trying her best to not somehow slip again in the cold hellscape. The last thing she wanted was that cold on her back again, or she would 'crash out', as Aodhan would put it. It made the stony faced girl take longer to reach the castle, but eventually she did and reached out to hold onto the front of the taller boy's coat for balance. ”Should we get some hot chocolate?” Gekko mused out loud before shaking the snow out of her hair like a wet dog. It was the only time she didn't mind messing up her hair a little, to get rid of the cold menace. But, as she did so, her eyes caught sight of a flower above the two of them It made her pause and tilt her head, lightly tugging at Cirrus to draw his attention. ”Why would they even put this here?”
